Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

Rated for a 12- to 48-V dc input voltage, Haydon Kerk's DCM4826X stepper-motor drive module features a continuous output current rating of 2.6 A rms (3.68 A peak) per phase Rated for a 12- to 48-V dc ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Take a look at a modern motor controller and one of the first things you'll notice is that the control circuit is about ...

Basic motion designs compete with those produced in emerging markets, but automation reigns where value trumps cost. Key to extracting superior production from such sophisticated machinery is the ...

Specifically designed to be used in satellites and spacecraft, vacuum rated motors can be used for communications antennas as well as vehicle controls. The harsh environment of vacuum and microgravity ...

A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control circuit that can be used in low-power applications, such as moving toys etc is presented here. A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control ...
